Membranes grafted with water-soluble polymers resist protein adsorption and adhesion to
cellular surfaces. Liposomes with surface-grafted polymers therefore find applications in …

Cells bend their plasma membranes into highly curved forms to interact with the local
environment, but how shape generation is regulated is not fully resolved. Here, we report a …

Over the last ten years there has been a strong (bio) technological drive for the development
of miniaturised reaction systems, motivated mainly by the need to reduce sample …

We present a model applicable to ultrasound contrast agent bubbles that takes into account
the physical properties of a lipid monolayer coating on a gas microbubble. Three parameters …

High internal phase emulsions have been widely used as templates for various porous
materials, but special strategies are required to form, in particular, particle-covered ones that …

A coarse-grained (CG) model for polyethylene oxide (PEO) and polyethylene glycol (PEG)
developed within the framework of the MARTINI CG force field (FF) using the distributions of …

Motivated by the deficiencies of the previous MARTINI models of poly (ethylene
oxide)(PEO), we present a new model featuring a high degree of transferability. The model …

Nucleic acid-based therapeutics have the potential to provide potent and highly specific
treatments for a variety of human ailments. However, systemic delivery continues to be a …

Abstract Poly (ethylene glycol)(PEG) decorated lipid bilayers are widely used in
biomembrane and pharmaceutical research. The success of PEG-lipid stabilized liposomes …

The bulk modulus, K, quantifies the elastic response of an object to an isotropic
compression. For soft compressible colloids, knowing K is essential to accurately predict the …
